This webinar follows the tradition, since 2010, of UNECE’s Odessa seminars on trade facilitation, single window, and data sharing along digital trade corridors.
This webinar series will discuss how sustainable trade facilitation measures are crucial in supporting groups and sectors with special needs, specifically related to agriculture, SMEs and women, especially how these measures could support the recovery from the pandemic and build back better. Experts from governments, international organizations and private sectors will share good practices in implementing relevant trade facilitation measures towards a more inclusive an resilient global trading system.
